Beyond the Silver Coin

We recently had an earthquake in our local area which did not arouse much attention. I thought it interesting that in our church building that night, with some standing, others sitting, some were aware of the ground movement and others, myself included, were not.  Then it comes to mind, is it not the same in the spiritual world?  Why are some individuals sensitive to the movement of God, that they immediately pick up on what he is saying or how he’s moving in a particular service? How do they recognize an anointing on a particular person or the message given; yet others have no sense of the Holy Spirit’s moving and leave God’s presence unchanged. Why? What makes the difference?

If everyone can hear from God, why Continue reading →

A great urgency burns within                                                                                                         A heartache, a hunger, a hurt                                                                                                       A great overwhelming passion                                                                                                 It’s such an unquenchable thirst

I am not content where I am                                                                                                  There blazes deep within my soul                                                                                               A consuming fire for my Lord                                                                                                   For a depth, a measure untold

I cannot appease this desire Continue reading →

Our Heavenly Father would say to us – 

I love you with an everlasting love, with the love of a Father’s heart, from a heart of compassion and a desire or your well-being.  My love for you cannot be bought or earned.  I love you because I am love and you are My child.   A love such as Mine may be difficult to understand as your only comparison is that of other people, some with good intentions but who miss the mark, while others use such statements to manipulate you for their own gain.   I don’t say I love you to get you to do something for me.  My love is pure and undefiled.  I only desire what is best for you, My love is not selfish, it is a sacrificial love.  My love will stand up to the test of time; it will not fade or be withdrawn.  My love is an everlasting love, one I desire to make known to you, to all who will receive it.

There is something about the stillness, those quiet times, when the Holy Spirit comes, making himself known and reveals things of life to us. Some on a very practical level, while others for fun.  It’s different to think in terms of “fun” and the “Holy Spirit”.  It brings a smile to my face and a chuckle on the inside.  I’m certain heaven is not going to be boring, nor all work.

I wonder what fun stuff we will be up to?  I don’t quite see Jesus as a practical jokester; possibly Continue reading →
